remove bumps and flash from the bottom of each piece. These
could cause rises in the track when it’s installed.
I put a piece of flex track on the roadbed where it will eventually
be glued down. Then I slip the Track Tool over the rails [10] and
apply a bit of twisting pressure while sliding it back and forth.
Easy does it here. I don’t try to force the track into final shape
all at once! With each pass I add a little more curvature, moving
from the end of piece of track toward the middle. When one end
is rough-curved to shape, I start at the other end.
